Who: VMI Keydets

When: November 15, 2014 at 2:00 pm (EST)

Where: Bob Waters Field at E.J. Whitmire Stadium, Cullowhee, NC

Series History:  Western Carolina currently leads the series 17-3. The Cats and Keydets first played in 1978 and last played in 2002, with the Cats owning an eleven game winning streak over VMI. Western Carolina was the last SoCon team the Keydets played in Lexington before their departure from the Southern Conference.

Their coach:  Sparky Woods  - Sparky Woods enters his seventh season as head coach of the VMI football program, and continues to make his mark throughout the program by implementing the philosophy and knowledge attained over an impressive coaching career. Catamount fans might also remember Woods as the head coach of Appalachian State from 1984 -1988.

Last year’s record:   2-10 overall,  1-4 Big South

How they got there:  The Keydets opened the season on the road at CAA's Richmond, dropping the opener to the Spiders, 0-34.  The following week, VMI returned home and picked up a win against Glenville State, 34-27. Remaining at home, the Keydets were beaten the following week by North Greenville, 24-37.  VMI then traveled to Virginia, picking up their third loss of the season, 0-49.  Robert Morris of the Northeast Conference was next to visit Lexington, and pulled out an overtime victory, 21-37. Entering conference play in the Big South, Charleston Southern was next up in Lexington, and the Bucs were able to pull out a hard fought win, 17-25. The Keydets then went on the road for three straight Big South games, at PC, at CCU, and at Liberty.  The Keydets fell at PC, 35-49, the traveled to Number 3 nationally ranked Coastal Carolina, CCU had little trouble with the Keydets, winning 27-66. In the final conference road game at Liberty, the Keydets kept it close, losing to the Flames, 7-17.  The road weary VMI team returned to Lexington for the final BS home game of the season, and the final game against a Big South opponent in Lexington before their departure to the SoCon.  The Bulldogs of Gardner-Webb traveled to Lexington, and fell victim to the Keydets, 27-9.  The following week, renewing their rivalry, VMI traveled to Charleston to meet the Citadel, falling 10-31.  To close out the season, Bucknell of the Patriot League traveled to Lexington, winning 35-23 over the Keydets.

The last game vs. VMI:  Nov 2, 2002  -  Western Carolina quarterbacks Pat Cilento and Brian Gaither combined for 350 yards passing and four touchdowns to lead Western Carolina past VMI, 35-23, in the final Southern Conference game played at Alumni Memorial Field in Lexington. The Catamount win was the 11th straight for Western over the Keydets and snapped VMI's three-game win streak. With the win, WCU improves to 5-5, 3-4 in the Southern Conference, while VMI fell to 5-5 and 2-4 in the SoCon.

How they got there:   Samford opened the 2013 season on the road at Georgia State where they picked up their first FBS win over hapless Georgia State,  31-21.  The next week was not so kind to the Bulldogs as they dropped a game to Arkansas , 21-31 in Little Rock, AR.  Samford remained on the road the following week, traveling to Tallahassee, FL, where they picked up win #2 with a seven point win over Florida A&M.  Week number four brought the Bulldogs back to Birmingham to meet Southeastern Louisiana, however the Dogs dropped the contest by 3 points in a loss to the Lions.  The following week, the Cats traveled to Birmingham and suffered the second largest defeat of the season, a 62-23 loss.  Georgia Southern was next to travel to Birmingham, and suffered the same outcome as the Cats in a 44-24 loss at the hands of the Bulldogs. Samford traveled to Boone the following week, and  beat the Apps 34-10, then traveled the following week to Spartanburg and knocked off the Terriers 34-27. Remaining on the road the next two games the Bulldogs drop to conference games, first at the Citadel (26-28), then at Furman (17-35). The Bulldogs returned home for their last two conference games, beating both Chattanooga and Elon.  The Bulldogs closed out the season at Jacksonville State, getting blown out, 14-55.

Last season's game vs. Chattanooga:  September 28, 2013 - The Catamounts overcame an early 14-0 deficit with 10 straight points including quarterback Troy Mitchell's first rushing score of the season and a 27-yard field goal by Richard Sigmon. But the Bulldogs pulled away from there as on the ensuing kickoff after Sigmon's boot, dangerous all-purpose back Fabian Truss returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown and Summerlin completed a 52-yard touchdown pass to Chris Cephus late in the second quarter. The Bulldogs led at halftime, 28-10. Samford added to its advantage in the second half as Summerlin threw two more touchdown passes, including a 68-yard strike to Gavin Sinclair.

Announcing the SoCon Digital Network

With the purchase of more than $2 million worth of video and audio equipment for its member institutions, the Southern Conference will launch the SoCon Digital Network, a free streaming service that will be available for live broadcasts and on demand, in late August, 2014.

The SoCon Digital Network will will broadcast in high definition (HD), and will be accessible through the member schools’ websites and the Southern Conference’s official site.

"The network will feature live broadcasts of games not selected for carriage on national or regional outlets, as well as highlight packages, coaches’ shows, student-athlete features and more". In other words, don't expect to see games selected for ESPN3 or the American Sports Network (ASN) this fall to also be shown on the SoCon Digital Network. However, in my opinion, this seem to be the only negative in today's announcement, as I'm sure the SoCon has to give up broadcast rights to games for these other outlets.

Western Carolina fans will be able to watch four events at once, picture-in-picture, and the broadcasts will feature DVR rewind, pause and fast-forward controls. The network will have the ability for replays during games. Catamount fans will be able to view broadcast from a variety of mobile devices, including smartphones, iPad and Android tablets, and laptops and PCs.

“The creation of the SoCon Digital Network is a milestone for this conference,” SoCon Commissioner Iamarino said during today's announcement. “This has long been one of our primary goals to enhance the value our institutions and their student-athletes receive from being affiliated with the Southern Conference.”

Hopper added to Catamount Football Staff

Western Carolina head football coach Mark Speir announced today the addition of James Hopper as an assistant on the defensive coaching staff.  He joined the coaching staff  from his alma mater, Virginia Tech, where he most recently was a defensive graduate assistant.

Hoppers duties at Virginia Tech included putting together scouting reports and running the scout team during the regular season.  On the Western staff, he will
work closely with defensive backs coach, LaMar Morgan, and will coach the Catamount cornerbacks.

Hopper played two seasons for the Hokies in 2010 and 2011 before an injury cut his playing career short.  He remained a part of the Hokie football, assisting as a student assistant in 2012, and became a graduate assistant for the 2013 season with defensive coordinator Bud Ford's staff.

Hopper played in 26 games for Virginia Tech, and contributed both on defense and special teams, helping the Hokies to back-to-back Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Championship game appearances.
